Being a team takes effort. Being overly sensitive hinders a good team. We need emotional intelligence. Sometimes we have to give each other a pass. Team work requires patience and understanding. We need to develop the ability to sense and understand, and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions to facilitate high levels of collaboration and productivity.

From my weekly business meeting.

Don’t be upset for the result you didn’t get because you didn’t do the work for it. Pretty simple.

“Fight with your strength, not with an other’s weakness because true success lies in your effort, not in an other’s defeat.” – unknown

We will never always be motivated. We have to learn to be disciplined. I heard in a spiritual talk many years ago that action breeds motivation and motivation moves us to action. They work with each other. That has proven true over the years in almost every aspect of my life, including my home business.

We have two ears and one mouth. When we use them in that proportion, our interactions with people are much better quality. Did you know that CEO’s now are hiring specialists to teach what is becoming a lost art — the art of listening.
